Volunteers

Whether you volunteer for a couple of hours or a couple of days each month, you power our community programs and special art events. Our volunteers make Phoenix cultural arts and historic neighborhood communities come alive!

Your decision to be a part of Alwun House, volunteering your skills and time, is the foundation of Alwun House’s growth since 1971.

At a recent Volunteer Team Party many were surprised to meet 30 volunteers that most had never met before (like newbies and different activities). All enjoyed sharing stories, and catching up on what our fellow creative-types have been working on. Alwun House volunteer opportunities fit every level of interest and availability, including: Events staffing, landscaping, pre-event preparation, gallery installation, decorations, art installation, and stage production, grantwriting & office assistance.

Alwun House awarded 2013 GOVERNOR’S ARTS AWARD, Community Category

“Alwun House Foundation stands as an exemplary model of engaging the power of art to transform lives and transform community. For more than 40 years, the Alwun House foundation has created opportunities for artists, and served as a pivotal beacon in the Garfield community and as a foundation for the downtown Phoenix arts scene. Their work extends across artistic and cultural boundaries, and brings diverse audiences, community members and artists together. Without the pioneering work of Alwun House, much of what is taken for granted in the vibrancy and success of downtown’s flourishing arts community would not have been possible.” Governor’s Arts Award, 2013

But we’ll only be able to start construction by securing our final $60,000. It’s achievable, with serious heart-felt contributions from knowledgeable community-minded folks like you, knowing the significance of this timely small, medium or larger donations. Some past donors are even re-pledging, Consider adding to your cultural legacy – our funds trigger a $100k grant, finalizing our Green Art Park groundbreaking!
